It's the 7th of another month and that means a new challenge over at FarmQuest General Store, where the theme is always "Anything Goes" but we also want to see 'country.' That means anything farm, farming, farm animals, fields, open country, ranch, country roads, planting, harvesting - you get the picture.
I'm kind of focused of Christmas cards this month, partly because I love laying in all the "Christmas in July" themed challenges, but also because I'm getting a late start on the 100+ Christmas cards I'm, going to need for this year. So, today's 'country' card features a line from the Partridge in a Pear Tree carol, and you can't get much more country/farm than milking cows. :-D
The image is clip art and I cut it with a round QuicKutz die. The octagon frame was cut with a die from Lawn Fawn (Lawn Cuts.) The background is all gold glitter paper. I found the red and gold sparkle ribbon in my stash and I have no idea where I got it. The gold ribbon for the triple loop bow came from Really Reasonable Ribbon and I used my bow maker to tie it.
I really love the red and gold color combo and all the sparkle from the glitter paper!
I hope you'll come and play with us this month. We love seeing your creations. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

Like the bold red octagon shaped frame for your black and white clipart... it's perfect against the gold glitter background love the add of the bow. I do very few bows with ribbon because I even have trouble using a bow maker with one stran no less you used three. Beautiful card. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble.
A wonderful image, love the gold and red, with all the sparkle, it really is a wonderful card.
